hereinafter referred to as the "NOTE"), providing for monthly installments of
principal and interest, with the balance thereof, if not sooner due or paid as
set forth in the Note, due and payable on the Maturity Date;

     B. Beneficiary wishes to secure (i) the prompt payment of the Note,
together with all interest thereon in accordance with the terms of the Note, as
well as the prompt payment of any additional indebtedness accruing to
Beneficiary on account of any future payments, advances or expenditures made by
Beneficiary pursuant to the Note or this Deed of Trust or any other agreement,
document, or instrument securing the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by
the Note (the Note, this Deed of Trust, and any other documents evidencing or
securing the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or executed in connection
therewith, and any modification, renewal, and/or extension thereof, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"), and (ii) the
prompt performance of each and every covenant, condition, and agreement now or
hereafter arising contained in the Loan Documents of Grantor or any "GUARANTOR".
All payment obligations of Grantor or any Guarantor are hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as the "INDEBTEDNESS" and all other obligations of
Grantor or any Guarantor are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as
the "OBLIGATIONS"; and

     C. The Schedule of Defined Terms appearing immediately before this page is

TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, the following described property and all proceeds

reimbursements, fees, accounts receivables, revenues and prepayments of any of
the same from or related to the Land and/or Improvements from time to time
accruing under the Leases and/or the operation of the Land and/or Improvements
(the "RENTS"), reserving to Grantor, however, so long as no "EVENT OF DEFAULT"
(hereinafter defined) has occurred hereunder, a revocable license to receive and
apply the Rents in accordance with the terms and conditions of PARAGRAPH 13 of
this Deed of Trust;

     E. The Personal Property;

     F. All awards or payments, including interest thereon, which may heretofore
and hereafter be made with respect to the Land and the Improvements, whether
from the exercise of the right of eminent domain or condemnation (including but
not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise
of said rights), or for a change of grade, or for any other injury to or
decrease in the value of the Land and Improvements;

     G. All proceeds of and any unearned premiums on any insurance policies
covering the Property, including, without limitation, the right to receive and
apply the proceeds of any insurance, judgments, or settlements made in lieu

     H. All proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any of the
foregoing including, without limitation, proceeds of insurance and condemnation

as a secured party, a security interest in the portion of the Property that is
or may be subject to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code that are
applicable to secured transactions; it being understood and agreed that the
Improvements and Fixtures are part and parcel of the Land (the Land, the
Improvements and the


                                       2

<PAGE>

Fixtures are collectively referred to as the "REAL PROPERTY") appropriated to
the use thereof and, whether affixed or annexed to the Real Property or not,
shall for the purposes of this Deed of Trust be deemed conclusively to be real
estate and mortgaged hereby.

     TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property and all parts thereof, together with the
rents, issues, profits and proceeds thereof, unto Trustee and Trustee's
successors and to the use, benefit and advantage of Beneficiary, forever, in
Trust, subject, however, to the terms, covenants, and conditions herein. Grantor
does hereby bind itself, its successors and assigns, to warrant and forever
defend the title to the Property unto Trustee against every person whomsoever
lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof.

     At no time shall the principal amount of the Indebtedness, not including
sums advanced in accordance herewith to protect the security of this Deed of
Trust, exceed TWO HUNDRED PERCENT (200%) of the original amount of the Note.

     Grantor covenants and agrees with Trustee and Beneficiary as follows:

     1. PAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS; PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. Grantor shall
promptly pay when due the Indebtedness and shall promptly perform all
Obligations.

     2. TAXES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Grantor shall pay, when due, and before any
interest, collection fees or penalties shall accrue, all taxes, assessments,
fines, impositions and other charges and obligations, including charges and
obligations for any present or future repairs or improvements made on the
Property, or for any other goods or services or utilities furnished to the
Property, which may become a lien on or charge against the Property prior to
this Deed of Trust, subject, however, to Grantor's right to contest such lien or
charge upon the posting of security reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary so
long as such contest stays the enforcement or collection of such lien or charge.
Should Grantor fail to make such payments, Beneficiary may, at its option and at
the expense of Grantor, pay the amounts due for the account of Grantor. Upon the
request of Beneficiary, Grantor shall immediately furnish to Beneficiary all
notices of amounts due and receipts evidencing payment. Grantor shall promptly
notify Beneficiary of any lien on all or any part of the Property and shall
promptly discharge any unpermitted lien or encumbrance.

     3. RESERVES FOR TAXES/GROUND RENTS/INSURANCE/REPLACEMENT RESERVE/TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS AND LEASING RESERVE.

          (a) Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, at the time of and in addition
     to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the
     Note, a sum equal to 1/12 of the amount estimated by Beneficiary from time
     to time to be sufficient to enable Beneficiary to pay at least 30 days
     before they become due and payable, all taxes, assessments and other
     similar charges levied against the Property, and all ground rents, if
     applicable. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary
     shall apply the sums so paid by Grantor to pay such tax items and ground
     rents, if applicable. In making any such payments, Beneficiary may do so
     according to any bill, statement or estimate obtained by Beneficiary in
     good faith, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or
     estimate or into the validity thereof. These sums may be commingled with
     the general funds of Beneficiary, and no interest shall be payable thereon
     nor shall these sums constitute trust funds. If such


                                       3

<PAGE>
     amount on deposit with Beneficiary is insufficient to fully pay such tax
     items and ground rents, if applicable, Grantor shall, within 10 days
     following notice at any time from Beneficiary, deposit such additional sum
     as may be required for the full payment of such tax items and ground rents,
     if applicable. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first priority security
     interest in such funds and Grantor shall execute any other documents and
     take any other actions necessary to provide Beneficiary with such a
     perfected security interest. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then
     remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent shall, at Beneficiary's
     option, be applied against the Indebtedness. The obligation of Grantor to
     pay such tax items and ground rents is not affected or modified by the
     provisions of this paragraph.

          (b) Grantor shall pay to Beneficiary, at the time of and in addition
     to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the
     Note, a sum equal to 1/12 of the amount estimated by Beneficiary from time
     to time to be sufficient to enable Beneficiary to pay at least 30 days
     before they become due and payable, all insurance premiums due for the
     renewal, on an annual basis, of the coverage afforded by the insurance
     policies required hereunder upon the expiration thereof. So long as no
     Event of Default exists hereunder, Beneficiary shall apply the sums so paid
     by Grantor to pay such insurance premiums. In making any such payment,
     Beneficiary may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate obtained
     by Beneficiary in good faith, without inquiry into the accuracy of such
     bill, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof. These sums may be
     commingled with the general funds of Beneficiary, and no interest shall be
     payable thereon nor shall these sums constitute trust funds. If such amount
     on deposit with Beneficiary is insufficient to fully pay such insurance
     premiums, Grantor shall, within 10 days following notice at any time from
     Beneficiary, deposit such additional sum as may be required for the full
     payment of such insurance premiums. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a
     first priority security interest in such funds and Grantor shall execute
     any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide
     Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest. Upon the Maturity
     Date, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Beneficiary or its agent
     shall, at Beneficiary's option, be applied against the Indebtedness. The
     obligation of Grantor to pay such insurance premiums is not affected or
     modified by the provisions of this paragraph.

          (c) Intentionally Deleted.

          (d) At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of
     principal and/or interest due under the Note, Grantor shall pay to
     Beneficiary monthly deposits in the amount of the TI and Leasing Reserve
     Monthly Payment for approved tenant improvements and leasing commissions
     (such payments shall be referred to as the "TI AND LEASING RESERVE"). The
     TI and Leasing Reserve may be commingled with the general funds of
     Beneficiary and such TI and Leasing Reserve shall not constitute trust
     funds. The funds contained in the TI and Leasing Reserve shall bear
     interest for the benefit of Grantor at the rate of interest which is the
     lower of (i) the amount paid from time to time by Beneficiary on commercial
     money market accounts; or (ii) the return on permitted investments to be
     made with the funds by any third party servicer, rating agency or loan
     purchaser, and all such interest shall be added to and become part of the
     TI and Leasing Reserve, provided Beneficiary shall make no representation
     or warranty as to the actual rate of interest. The funds contained in the
     TI and Leasing Reserve shall be disbursed to Grantor solely to pay for
     tenant improvements and


                                       4
<PAGE>

     leasing commissions due pursuant to leases entered into in accordance with
     the requirements of PARAGRAPH 7 hereof or otherwise approved by
     Beneficiary, but only when the tenants under such leases are in occupancy,
     open for business, and paying full contractual rent without any right of
     offset or rent abatement. Beneficiary shall make disbursements from the TI
     and Leasing Reserve for the actual cost of such approved tenant
     improvements and leasing commissions upon Grantor's providing Beneficiary
     with receipts, invoices, lien waivers, photographs and other documentation
     deemed necessary by Beneficiary to insure that the work and/or materials
     related to the requested disbursement have been completed and/or provided,
     with minimum draws of $10,000.00, which shall occur no more frequently than
     once per month. Upon the Maturity Date, the moneys then remaining on
     deposit with Beneficiary or its agent shall, at Beneficiary's option, be
     applied against the Indebtedness. Grantor hereby grants Beneficiary a first
     priority security interest in the TI and Leasing Reserve and shall execute
     any other documents and take any other actions necessary to provide
     Beneficiary with such a perfected security interest in the TI and Leasing
     Reserve.

          (e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may apply
     any amounts then held in any of the Reserves described above to the payment
     of the Indebtedness in such order as Beneficiary may elect in its sole and
     absolute discretion.

     4. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law, Grantor shall not
permit changes in the use of any part of the Property from the use existing at
the time this Deed of Trust was executed, which use Grantor represents and
warrants is limited to the Permitted Use and related uses. Grantor shall not
initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property
without Beneficiary's prior written consent.

     5. INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION. Grantor shall keep the Improvements insured,
and shall maintain during the entire term of this Deed of Trust, comprehensive
general liability coverage and such other coverages requested by Beneficiary, by
carrier(s), in amounts and in form at all times satisfactory to Beneficiary,
which carrier(s), amounts and form shall not be changed without the prior
written consent of Beneficiary. All such policies of insurance shall be issued
by insurers qualified under the laws of the state in which the Land is located,
duly authorized and licensed to transact business in such state and reflecting
the Required Rating. Grantor shall maintain all coverages on the Property as are
required by Beneficiary at the closing of the Loan, and all other coverages as
may be deemed necessary by Beneficiary from time to time during the term of the
Loan. Any failure by Beneficiary to insist on full compliance with all of the
above insurance requirements at closing does not constitute a waiver of
Beneficiary's right to subsequently require full compliance with these
requirements. All policies required hereunder shall be indicated by evidence of
insurance on the Accord 28 form of certificate (as such form may be updated and
renamed from time to time), naming Beneficiary as loss payee and as additional
insured. Unless Grantor provides Beneficiary with evidence of the insurance
coverage required by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may purchase insurance at
Grantor's expense to protect Beneficiary's interests in the Property and to
maintain the insurance required by this Deed of Trust. This insurance may, but
need not, protect Grantor's interests. The coverage purchased by Beneficiary may
not pay any claim made by Grantor or any claim that is made against Grantor in
connection with the Property or any required insurance policy. Grantor may later
cancel any insurance purchased by Beneficiary, but only after providing
Beneficiary with evidence that Grantor has obtained insurance as required by
this Deed of Trust. If Beneficiary purchases insurance for the Property or
insurance otherwise


                                        5

<PAGE>

required by this Deed of Trust, Grantor will be responsible for the costs of
that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by Beneficiary in
connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the
cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be
added to the Indebtedness. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost
of insurance Grantor is able to obtain on its own.

     In case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall give
immediate written notice thereof to the insurance carrier(s) and to Beneficiary.
Beneficiary is authorized and empowered to make or file proofs of loss or damage
(in each case only so long as such loss or damage is equal to or greater than
$130,000.00 and to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which
insure against such risks, or to direct Grantor, in writing, to agree with the
insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss. The
proceeds of any insurance claim are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to
Beneficiary as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations and applied as set forth herein.

     Grantor shall immediately notify Beneficiary of any action or proceeding
relating to any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the
Property, or part thereof, and Grantor shall appear in and prosecute any such
action or proceeding unless otherwise directed by Beneficiary in writing.
Grantor authorizes Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, as attorney-in-fact for
Grantor, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Beneficiary's or Grantor's
name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of
the Property, whether direct or indirect, and to settle or compromise any claim
in connection with such condemnation or other taking, provided such claim is for
an amount equal to or greater than $130,000.00. The proceeds of any award,
payment or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any
condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or
part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned to
and shall be paid to Beneficiary as further security for the payment of the
Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations and applied as set forth herein.

     Provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder, the net insurance
proceeds and net proceeds of any condemnation award (in each case after
deducting only Beneficiary's reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in
collecting the same) shall be made available for the restoration or repair of
the Property if, in Beneficiary's sole judgment (a) restoration or repair and
the continued operation of the Property is economically feasible, as determined
by Beneficiary, (b) the value of Beneficiary's security is not reduced, (c) the
loss or condemnation, as applicable, does not occur in the 6-month period
preceding the stated Maturity Date and Beneficiary's independent consultant
certifies that the restoration of the Property can be completed at least 90 days
prior to the Maturity Date, and (d) Grantor deposits with Beneficiary an amount,
in cash, which Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, determines is necessary, in
addition to the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation
award, as applicable, to pay in full the cost of the restoration or repair,
including the cost to carry the Property and make all required payments due
under the Loan during the period of restoration or repair. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent to any disbursement of insurance
proceeds held by Beneficiary hereunder that Beneficiary shall have approved (x)
all plans and specifications for any proposed repair or restoration, (y) the
construction schedule and (z) the architect's and general contractor's contract
for all restoration that exceeds $25,000.00 in the aggregate. Beneficiary may
establish other conditions it deems reasonably necessary to assure the work is
fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner free of all liens or claims by
reason thereof. Grantor's deposits made pursuant to this paragraph shall be used
before


                                        6

<PAGE>

the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as
applicable, for such restoration or repair. If the net insurance proceeds or net
proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, are made available for
restoration or repair, such work shall be completed by Grantor in an expeditious
and diligent fashion, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. At Beneficiary's option, the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds
of any condemnation award, as applicable, shall be disbursed pursuant to a
construction escrow acceptable to Beneficiary. If following the final payments
for the completion of such restoration or repair there are any net insurance
proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award, as applicable, remaining,
such proceeds shall be paid (i) to Grantor to the extent Grantor was required to
make a deposit pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) then to fund any shortfall in
the Replacement Reserve, (iii) then to Beneficiary to be applied to the
Indebtedness, whether or not due and payable until paid in full, and (iv) then
to Grantor. If an Event of Default then exists, or any of the conditions set
forth in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of this PARAGRAPH 5 have not been met or
satisfied, the net insurance proceeds or net proceeds of any condemnation award,
as applicable, shall be applied to the Indebtedness, whether or not due and
payable, with any excess paid to Grantor.

     6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Grantor (a) shall not commit
waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property; (b) shall not
abandon the Property; (c) shall keep the Property in good repair and restore or
repair promptly, in a good and workmanlike manner, all or any part of the
Property to the equivalent of its original condition, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, or such other condition as Beneficiary may approve in writing, upon
any damage or loss thereto, if net insurance proceeds are made available to
cover in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair; (d) shall
comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
governmental body, and all requirements of any documents applicable to the
Property; (e) shall provide for management of the Property by Grantor or by a
property manager satisfactory to Beneficiary pursuant to a contract in form and
substance satisfactory to Beneficiary; (f) shall not take any steps whatsoever
to convert the Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative
form of management; (g) shall not install or permit to be installed on the
Property any underground storage tank or above-ground storage tank without the
written consent of Beneficiary; and (h) shall give notice in writing to
Beneficiary of and, unless otherwise directed in writing by Beneficiary, appear
in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, the
security granted by the Loan Documents or the rights or powers of Beneficiary
and/or Trustee. Neither Grantor nor any tenant or other person shall remove,
demolish or alter any Improvement or any Fixture, equipment, machinery or
appliance in or on the Land and owned or leased by Grantor except when incident
to the replacement of Fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances with items
of like kind.

     7. PROTECTION OF BENEFICIARY'S SECURITY; LEASES. If Grantor fails to pay
the Indebtedness or perform the Obligations, or if any action or proceeding is
commenced which affects the Property, Trustee or Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's
option, Beneficiary may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such
action as Beneficiary deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect the
Property or Beneficiary's or Trustee's respective interests herein, including
entry upon the Property to make repairs and perform environmental tests and
studies. Any amounts disbursed by Beneficiary pursuant to this PARAGRAPH 7
(including attorneys' costs and expenses), with interest thereon at the "DEFAULT
RATE" (defined in the Note) from the date of disbursement, shall become
additional Indebtedness of Grantor secured by the Loan Documents and shall be
due and payable on demand. Nothing contained in this PARAGRAPH 7 shall require
Beneficiary to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

contemporaneously with the execution of such Lease. Grantor expressly

the related tenant is in default and (b) either (x) such Lease is for less than

     require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Deed of
     Trust, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Grantor will pay for
     the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

          (u) As of the date hereof, Grantor represents that Grantor and
     Guarantors have no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right
     to rescission with respect to any of the Loan Documents.

     and Grantor shall pay all fees and expenses owing to any mortgage broker
     and will indemnify, defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from any and all
     other brokerage claims related to the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     Beneficiary may, at its sole election, pay incentive fees or other
     compensation (collectively, "INCENTIVES") to Broker. Those Incentives are
     intended to encourage Broker to bring loans to Beneficiary, and may be
     based on a variety of different factors, including the amount of the Loan,
     the Contract Rate (as defined in the Note) the spread, the number of loan
     applications or loans referred to Beneficiary, the amount of investigative,
     due diligence or other assistance provided by Broker, or other factors. Any
     cash payments to Broker are not referenced in the Loan Documents.

          (w) Grantor shall not modify, amend or terminate any tenants in common
     agreement (the "TIC AGREEMENT") without the prior written consent of
     Beneficiary, which consent may be withheld in Beneficiary's sole and
     absolute discretion.

          (x) Without limiting the generality of PARAGRAPH 15, there shall never
     be more than sixteen (16) tenants in common (collectively, the "TENANTS IN
     COMMON") (including Grantor) owning the Property.

          (y) Grantor covenants that it shall not terminate the property manager
     under that certain Management Agreement executed by and between Grantor and
     Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. (the "PROPERTY MANAGER") or modify
     and/or terminate the Management Agreement or enter into a new management
     agreement, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. In the event
     Grantor does terminate the Property Manager with the written consent of
     Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall have the right to approve the new management
     agreement and approve any new property manager named by Grantor which new
     property manager must be acceptable to Beneficiary in its sole discretion.
     The Management Agreement or any subsequently approved management agreement
     shall provide that such property manager may not be terminated without
     Beneficiary's prior written consent, and which such new property management
     agreement may not be terminated or amended without Beneficiary's prior
     written consent. In addition, the Management Agreement shall provide that
     all notice from Beneficiary to the Tenants in Common may go to the Property
     Manager on behalf of all Tenants in Common.

          (z) At all times during the term of the Loan, (1) Property Manager
     shall have all operating authority for the Property and (2) Grantor shall
     own no less than one percent (1%) of the total ownership interest, in the
     Property.

          (aa) Grantor shall give prompt notice to Beneficiary of any default
     under any the TIC Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each and all of the representations,
covenants and obligations of Grantor shall survive the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents and shall continue in full force and effect until the
Indebtedness is paid in full.

     13. LEASE ASSIGNMENT. Grantor acknowledges that, concurrently herewith
Grantor is delivering to Beneficiary, as additional security for the repayment
of the Loan, an Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "ASSIGNMENT") pursuant to
which Grantor has assigned to Beneficiary all of Grantor's right, title and
interest in the Leases and the Rents and income from the Property. All of the
provisions of the Assignment are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set
forth at length in the text of this Deed of Trust. Grantor agrees to abide by
all of the provisions of the Assignment.

     14. SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENTS/ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES.

          (a) Grantor shall, within 10 days after Beneficiary's request, furnish
     Beneficiary with a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the
     sums secured by the Loan Documents and any right of set-off, counterclaim
     or other defense which exists against such sums and the Obligations.

          (b) If the Property includes commercial property, Grantor shall use
     best efforts (including institution of litigation) to deliver to
     Beneficiary upon request, tenant subordination, non-disturbance and
     attornment agreements/estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant at
     the Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary
     provided that Grantor shall not be required to deliver such certificates
     more frequently than two (2) times in any calendar year.

     Property or any interest therein any part thereof or permit the Property or
     any part thereof to be sold, conveyed, mortgaged, granted, bargained,

     allow, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, any pledge of any
     ownership interests in Grantor.

          (b) SALE/ENCUMBRANCE DEFINED. A sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant,

     managing member of Grantor, if applicable; or (iv) a sale, encumbrance,
     pledge, hypothecation, or transfer of any general partner or managing
     member interest in the Grantor, if applicable. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, provided that no default has occurred, the following transfers
     of interests in Grantor shall not be deemed to be a sale or encumbrance for
     the purpose of this PARAGRAPH 15: (I) transfers of interests in Grantor for
     estate planning purposes to immediate family members (which shall be
     limited to a spouse, parent, child and grandchild (each an "IMMEDIATE

     unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that each of the following terms
     and conditions are satisfied:

               (i) Grantor is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the
          Loan Documents and no default has occurred and is then continuing
          hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and the proposed
          transferee ("TRANSFEREE") agrees to continue to comply with and be
          bound by all provisions of the Loan Documents;

               (ii) Grantor gives Beneficiary written notice of the terms of
          such prospective Assumption not less than sixty (60) days before the
          date on which such Assumption is scheduled to take place and,

          concerning Transferee as Beneficiary reasonably requests. Beneficiary
          shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Transferee.
          In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the
          proposed Transferee, Beneficiary shall consider Transferee's
          experience in owning and operating a facility similar to the Property,

          Beneficiary and any rating agency approval fees (whether such transfer
          is approved or rejected), plus (B) concurrently with the closing of
          such Assumption, a nonrefundable assumption fee in an amount equal to
          1% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note;

               (iv) Transferee executes and delivers such documents and
          agreements as Beneficiary shall reasonably require to evidence and
          effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions as
          Beneficiary may reasonably require, including, without limitation,
          hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar
          materials as Beneficiary may deem necessary at the time of the
          Assumption, all in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary,
          including, without limitation, an endorsement or endorsements to
          Beneficiary's loan title insurance policy insuring the lien of this
          Deed of Trust, extending the effective date of such policy to the date
          of execution and delivery of the assumption agreement referenced in
          this SUBPARAGRAPH 15(C)(IV), with no additional exceptions added to
          such policy, except for items consented to by Beneficiary or permitted
          under this Deed of Trust, and insuring that fee simple title to the
          Property is vested in the Transferee;

               (v) Grantor executes and delivers to Beneficiary, without any
          cost or expense to Beneficiary, a release of Beneficiary, its
          officers, directors, employees and agents, from all claims and
          liability relating to the transactions evidenced by the other security
          documents through and including the date of the closing of the


                                       16
<PAGE>

          Assumption, which agreement shall be in form and substance
          satisfactory to Beneficiary and shall be binding upon the Transferee;

               (vi) subject to the provisions of PARAGRAPH 14 of the Note, such
          Assumption is not construed so as to relieve Grantor of any personal
          liability under the Note or any of the Loan Documents for any act or
          events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously
          with the closing of such Assumption (excluding payment of the
          principal amount of the Note and interest accrued thereon) and Grantor
          executes, without any cost or expense to Beneficiary, such documents
          and agreements as Beneficiary shall reasonably require to evidence and
          effectuate the ratification of such personal liability;

               (vii) Transferee shall furnish, if Transferee is a corporation,
          partnership or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing
          Transferee's capacity in good standing and the qualification of the
          signers to execute the assumption of the Obligations, which paper
          shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the
          organization and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any,
          which are partners, members or shareholders of Transferee. Transferee
          and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee
          (as the case may be) as Beneficiary shall require, shall be single
          purpose entities, whose formation documents shall be approved by
          counsel to Beneficiary; and

               (viii) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel
          satisfactory to Beneficiary and its counsel stating that (A)
          Transferee's formation documents provide proof for the matters
          described in SUBPARAGRAPH (VII) above, (B) the assets of Transferee
          will not be consolidated with the assets of any other entity having an
          interest in, or affiliation with, the Transferee, in the event of a
          bankruptcy or insolvency of any such entity if required by any rating
          agency after the securitization of the Loan, (C) the assumption of the
          Obligations has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and the
          Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against the
          Transferee in accordance with their terms, (D) Transferee and any
          entity which is a controlling stockholder, general partner or managing
          member of Transferee have been duly organized and are in good standing
          and in existence, and (E) with respect to such other matters as
          Beneficiary or any applicable rating agency may request.

Any such Assumption shall not be construed as to relieve any current Guarantors
of their obligations under any guarantees or indemnity agreements executed in
connection with the Note, provided that if Transferee or a party associated with
Transferee approved by Beneficiary in its sole discretion assumes the
obligations of the current Guarantors under their guarantees or indemnity
agreements and Transferee or such party associated with Transferee if
applicable, executes, without any cost or expense to Beneficiary, a new
guarantee and/or indemnity agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Beneficiary, then Beneficiary shall release the current Guarantors from all
obligations first arising under their guarantees or indemnity agreements after
the closing of such Assumption;

          (d) BENEFICIARY'S RIGHTS. Except as provided in SUBPARAGRAPH 15(C)
     above, Beneficiary reserves the right to condition the consent required
     hereunder upon a


                                       17

     proposed transferee, the proposed transferee's continued compliance with

     limitation, the covenants contained in Paragraph 17, or such other
     conditions as Beneficiary shall determine in its sole discretion to be in
     the interest of Beneficiary. All of Beneficiary's out-of-pocket expenses
     incurred shall be payable by Grantor whether or not Beneficiary consents to
     the Assumption. Beneficiary shall not be required to demonstrate any actual
     impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in
     order to declare the Note immediately due and payable upon Grantor's
     prohibited sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge,
     assignment, or transfer of the Property without Beneficiary's consent. This
     provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain,
     encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property regardless of
     whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Beneficiary has consented to
     any previous sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance,
     pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property.

     Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of ______________,
     2005, granted by Grantor, and which such Mezzanine Debt is subordinated to

     Mezzanine Debt while the Loan is outstanding.

     16. NO ADDITIONAL LIENS. Grantor covenants not to execute any deed of
trust, security agreement, assignment of leases and rents or other agreement
granting a lien (except the liens granted to Beneficiary and Trustee by the Loan
Documents) or, except as set forth in PARAGRAPH 2 above, take or fail to take
any other action which would result in a lien against the interest of Grantor in
the Property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.

     17. SINGLE ASSET ENTITY. Grantor shall not hold or acquire, directly or
indirectly, any ownership interest (legal or equitable) in any real or personal
property other than the Property, or become a shareholder of or a member or
partner in any entity which acquires any property other than the Property, until

and filed by Beneficiary in any jurisdiction prior to the date of this Deed of
Trust. In addition, Grantor covenants to: (w) obtain acknowledgments from any
bailee holding Collateral; (x) obtain consents from any letter of credit
issuers; (y) notify and take steps to perfect Beneficiary's security interest in
any Commercial Tort Claims; and (z) take any action necessary to vest control in

may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and
all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the
Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation, the right to take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other
measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and
preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary, Grantor
shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Beneficiary at a convenient place acceptable to Beneficiary. Grantor shall pay
to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and
attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting the interest in
the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by
Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with
the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall
constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor. Capitalized words and
phrases used herein in this Paragraph 19 and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in either: (i) Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the State of Illinois at the time the
financing statement was filed by Beneficiary, or (ii) Article 9 as in force at
any relevant time in the State of Illinois, the meaning to be ascribed thereto
with respect to any particular item of property shall be that under the more
encompassing of the two definitions.

     petition is not discharged within 60 days of its filing), or a custodian,
     receiver or trustee for any of the Property is appointed, or Grantor or any
     Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any of them

<PAGE>

          (h) Grantor is in default in the payment of any indebtedness (other
     than the Indebtedness) and such default is declared and is not cured within
     the time, if any, specified therefor in any agreement governing the same;
     or

          (i) any statement, report or certificate made or delivered to

          (k) failure of Grantor, within 30 days after notice and demand, to
     satisfy each and every Obligation, other than those set forth in the
     subparagraphs above; provided, however, if such failure to satisfy such
     Obligation cannot by its nature be cured within 30 days, and if Grantor
     commences to cure such failure promptly after written notice thereof and
     thereafter diligently pursues the curing thereof (and then in all events

     Grantor shall not be in default hereunder during such period of diligent

Grantor, and Beneficiary and Trustee, shall be entitled to immediately exercise
and pursue any or all of the rights and remedies contained in this Deed of Trust
and any other Loan Document or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
remedy provided in the Loan Documents is distinct and cumulative to all other
rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or afforded by law or equity, and
may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order
whatsoever.

     21. ENTRY; REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a)
Grantor, upon demand of Beneficiary, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary
the actual possession, or to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or
by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of
all or any part of the Property, and may exclude Grantor and its agents and
employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Grantor to the books,
papers and accounts of Grantor; and (b) if Grantor shall for any reason fail to
surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after such demand by
Beneficiary, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on
Beneficiary the right to immediate possession or requiring the delivery to
Beneficiary of the Property, and Grantor specifically consents to the entry of
such judgment or decree. Upon


                                       23

<PAGE>

every such entering upon or taking of possession, Beneficiary may hold, store,
use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof.
Beneficiary shall have no liability for any loss, damage, injury, cost or
expense resulting from any action or omission by it or its representatives which
was taken or omitted in good faith.

     Upon any sale, Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the Property and shall
be entitled to apply all or part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase
price.

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then, without notice to or the
consent of Grantor, Beneficiary shall be entitled to immediately exercise or
pursue or cause to be exercised or pursued any or all of the rights and remedies
contained in this Deed of Trust and in any other Loan Document or otherwise
available at law or in equity, including the right to do any one or more of the
following:

          (a) Cause the Trustee to sell the Property, and all estate, right,
     title, interest, claim and demand of Grantor therein, and all rights of
     redemption thereof, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels,
     with such elements of real or personal property, or both, at public venue
     at the courthouse for the county where this Deed of Trust is recorded (or
     such other place as may be proper for the conduct of such sale in the
     jurisdiction in which the Property is located) to the highest bidder for
     cash at such time and place and upon such terms as it may deem expedient,
     or as may be required by applicable law, after first giving notice as
     required by applicable law, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure,
     power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Deed of
     Trust shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining
     portion of the Property;

          (b) To enter upon, take possession of and manage the Property for the
     purpose of collecting the Rents;

          (c) To require Grantor to hold all Rents collected in trust for the
     benefit of Beneficiary;

          (d) Dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any Tenant defaulting
     in the payment of Rent to Grantor;

          (e) Lease the Property or any part thereof;

          (f) Repair, restore, and improve the Property;

          (g) Apply the Rent after payment of Property expenses as determined by
     Beneficiary to Grantor's indebtedness under the Loan Documents;

          (h) Apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific
     performance of this Deed of Trust, an injunction against the violation
     hereof and/or the appointment of a receiver; and

          (i) To foreclose this Deed of Trust by judicial or non-judicial
     process.


                                       24

<PAGE>

     The foregoing remedies shall be cumulative of any other nonjudicial
remedies available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or the other Loan
Documents, at law or in equity. Proceeding with a request or receiving a
judgment for legal relief shall not be or be deemed to be an election of
remedies or bar any available nonjudicial remedy of Beneficiary.

     22. EXPENDITURES AND EXPENSES. Grantor acknowledges and confirms that
Beneficiary shall impose certain administrative processing and/or commitment
fees in connection with (a) the extension, renewal, modification, amendment and
termination of its loans, (b) the release or substitution of collateral
therefor, (c) obtaining certain consents, waivers and approvals with respect to
the Property, or (d) the review of any Lease or proposed Lease or the
preparation or review of any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement. In addition, in any civil action to foreclose the lien hereof or
otherwise enforce Trustee's or Beneficiary's rights, there shall be allowed and
included as additional Indebtedness in the order or judgment for foreclosure and
sale or other order all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred
by or on behalf of Beneficiary including attorneys' fees, costs and expenses,
receiver's fees, costs and expenses, appraiser's fees, engineers' fees, outlays
for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs,
and costs (which may be estimates as to items to be expended after entry of said
order or judgment) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and
examination, title insurance policies, Torrens' Certificates and similar data
and assurances with respect to the title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably
necessary either to prosecute such civil action or to evidence to bidders at any
sale which may be had pursuant to such order or judgment the true condition of
the title to, or the value of, the Property (all said expenditures and expenses
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES"). All
Reimbursable Expenses, and such costs, expenses and fees as may be incurred by
Beneficiary at any time or times hereafter in the protection of the Property, in
enforcing the Obligations, and/or the maintenance of the lien established by any
of the Loan Documents, including accountants' and attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses in any advice, litigation, or proceeding affecting the Loan Documents
or the Property, whether instituted by Beneficiary, Trustee, Grantor or any
other party, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any action or
proceeding or threatened action or proceeding, shall be immediately due and
payable to Beneficiary by Grantor, and, to the extent such services relate to
the Hazardous Substances Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith from
Grantor and Guarantors in favor of Beneficiary, by Grantor and Guarantors, with
interest thereon at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, and shall be secured
by the Loan Documents. In addition, Grantor shall be liable for the payment of
all commissions and brokerage fees relating to the Loan.

     23. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE. The proceeds of any sale of the
Property shall be distributed and applied in the order of priority set forth in
the Note with the excess, if any, being applied to any parties entitled thereto
as their rights may appear.

     24. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER OR MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. If an Event of
Default is continuing or if Beneficiary shall have accelerated the Indebtedness,
Beneficiary, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be
entitled as a matter of strict right, without notice, and without regard to the
occupancy or value of any security for the Indebtedness, without any showing of
fraud or mismanagement on the part of Grantor or the insolvency of any party
bound for its payment, without regard to the existence of a declaration that the
Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, is immediately due and payable, and
without regard to the filing of a notice of default, to the appointment of a
receiver or the appointment of Beneficiary to take possession of and to operate
the


                                       25
<PAGE>

Property, and to collect and apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues
thereof, and Grantor consents to such appointment.

     25. FORBEARANCE BY BENEFICIARY NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by Beneficiary
in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise
afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of
any right or remedy. Beneficiary's acceptance of payment of any sum secured by
any of the Loan Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a
waiver of Beneficiary's right to either require prompt payment when due of all
other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt
payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or
charges by Beneficiary shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to
accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness, nor shall Beneficiary's receipt of
any awards, proceeds or damages under PARAGRAPH 5 hereof operate to cure or
waive Grantor's default in payment or sums secured by any of the Loan Documents.
With respect to all Loan Documents, only waivers made in writing by Beneficiary
shall be effective against Beneficiary.

     26. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Grantor hereby waives the right to
assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien
created by any of the Loan Documents or to any action brought to enforce the
Note or any other obligation secured by any of the Loan Documents.

     27. WAIVER OF HOMESTEAD AND REDEMPTION. Grantor hereby waives all rights of
homestead exemption in the Property. Grantor hereby waives all right of
redemption on behalf of Grantor and on behalf of all other persons acquiring any
interest or title in the Property subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust,
except decree or judgment creditors of Grantor.

     28. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. GRANTOR AND BENEFICIARY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
DEED OF TRUST, EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS
RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR
RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY
AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY GRANTOR AND BY BENEFICIARY, AND GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES ON
BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS PARTNERS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AS THE CASE MAY BE,
THAT NEITHER BENEFICIARY, TRUSTEE NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF BENEFICIARY
OR TRUSTEE HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL
BY JURY OR HAS TAKEN ANY ACTIONS WHICH IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.
GRANTOR AND BENEFICIARY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT GRANTOR AND BENEFICIARY HAVE ALREADY
RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH OF THEM
WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. GRANTOR
AND BENEFICIARY FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND IN
THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF THEIR OWN
FREE


                                       26

<PAGE>

WILL, AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH
COUNSEL.

     29. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided in
any of the other Loan Documents, Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense,
protect, defend, indemnify, release and save harmless Beneficiary, Trustee, or
any person or entity who is or will have been involved in the servicing of this
Loan, as well as the respective affiliates, subsidiaries, persons controlling or
under common control, directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners,
employees, agents, servants, representatives, contractors, subcontractors,
participants, successors and assigns of any and all of the foregoing
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses,
fines, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the
Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way
relating to any one or more of the following: (a) ownership of this Deed of
Trust, the Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any
amendment to, or restructuring of, the Indebtedness, the Note, this Deed of
Trust or any other Loan Documents; (c) any and all lawful action that may be
taken by Beneficiary or Trustee in connection with the enforcement of the
provisions of this Deed of Trust or the Note or any other Loan Documents,
whether or not suit is filed in connection with same, or in connection with
Grantor or any Guarantor becoming a party to a voluntary or involuntary federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (d) any accident, injury
to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or

which may be interpreted to affect the Property; or (h) any representation or
warranty made in the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents being
false or misleading in any respect as of the date such representation or
warranty was made. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION EXPRESSLY APPLIES TO AND
INCLUDES COSTS, DAMAGES AND CLAIMS ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, BUT NOT ITS GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. IT IS
EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE FOREGOING RELEASE COVERS ALL
LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, COSTS, EXPENSES, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM
THE NEGLIGENCE OF BENEFICIARY, ITS SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, ADMINISTRATORS, TRUSTEES, SUBSIDIARIES,
AFFILIATES, BENEFICIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS AND REPRESENTATIVES, WHETHER SUCH
NEGLIGENCE BE THE SOLE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SIMPLE, GROSS, OR STRICT LIABILITY)
OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OR CONTRIBUTORY. The obligations and liabilities of
Grantor under this PARAGRAPH 29 (A) shall survive for a period of two (2) years
following any release of this Deed of Trust executed by Beneficiary and
satisfaction of the Loan evidenced by the Loan Documents, and (B) shall survive
the transfer or assignment of this Deed of Trust, the entry of a judgment of
foreclosure, sale of the Property by nonjudicial foreclosure sale, or delivery
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (including, without limitation, any transfer by
Grantor of any of its rights, title and interest in and to the Property to any
party, whether or not affiliated with Grantor); provided, however, that any act
or omission pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (h) above was taken or
occurred prior to the payment in full of the Indebtedness.


                                       27

<PAGE>

     30. DUTY TO DEFEND. Upon written request by an Indemnified Party, Grantor
shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by an Indemnified Party, in
the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals approved
by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified
Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, engage their own attorneys
and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of the
Indemnified Parties, their attorneys shall control the resolution of the claim
or proceeding. Upon demand, Grantor shall pay or, in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for
the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, and
other professionals in connection therewith. Any amounts payable to any of the
Indemnified Parties by reason of the application of PARAGRAPH 29 or this
paragraph shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall become immediately
due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified in the
Note from the date loss or damage is sustained by any of the Indemnified Parties
until paid.

     31. ERISA. Grantor covenants and agrees that during the term of the Loan,
(a) Grantor is not a and will not become a "party in interest" as defined in
Section 3(14) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, with respect to any employee benefit plan, (b) Grantor will take no
action that would cause it to (i) become an "employee benefit plan" or (ii)
otherwise be considered "plan assets" as defined in 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101, or "assets of a governmental plan" subject to regulation under the
state statutes, and (c) Grantor will not sell, assign or transfer the Property,
or any portion thereof or interest therein, to any transferee that does not
execute and deliver to Beneficiary its written assumption of the obligations of
this covenant. Grantor further covenants and agrees to protect, defend,
indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage
and expense (including without limitation, all attorneys' fees and excise taxes,
costs of correcting any prohibited transaction or obtaining an appropriate
exemption) that Beneficiary may incur as a result of Grantor's breach of this
covenant. This covenant and indemnity shall survive the extinguishment of the
lien of this Deed of Trust by foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
furthermore, the foregoing indemnity shall supersede any limitations on
Grantor's liability under any of the Loan Documents.

     32. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Deed of Trust may not be modified, amended,
waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or
failure to act on the part of Grantor or Beneficiary, but only by an agreement
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification,
amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

assigns of Trustee, Beneficiary and Grantor, subject to the provisions of

CONTROL. THE INVALIDITY, ILLEGALITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS
DEED OF TRUST OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL NOT AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY,
LEGALITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE REMAINDER OF THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND TO THIS END, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE DECLARED TO BE SEVERABLE.

when banks are not required or authorized to be closed in Chicago, Illinois or
New York, New York; and (ii) the words "include" and "including" shall mean
"including but not limited to" unless specifically set forth to the contrary.

destruction of the Note and upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to

like tenor in lieu of the then to be superseded Note.

     40. CHANGES IN THE LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is amended, enacted
or adopted after the date of this Deed of Trust which deducts the Indebtedness
from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a
tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Indebtedness of Beneficiary's
interest in the Property, Grantor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any. In the event Beneficiary is advised by counsel chosen by it
that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Grantor would be
unlawful or taxable to Beneficiary or unenforceable or provide the basis for a
defense of usury, then in any such event, Beneficiary shall have the option, by
written notice of not less than forty-five (45) days, to declare the
Indebtedness immediately due and payable.

     41. SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE. Beneficiary may, from time to time by written
instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the county
or counties where the Property is located, and by otherwise complying with the
provisions of any applicable statutes, substitute a successor or successors for
the Trustee named herein or acting hereunder. Any fees or expenses payable to
Trustee are the obligation of Grantor.

     42. EXCULPATION. This Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents and all of
Grantor's obligations hereunder and thereunder are subject to the provisions of
PARAGRAPH 11 of the Note entitled Exculpation. All of the provisions of the
Note, including PARAGRAPH 11, are incorporated herein by this reference.

     43. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Beneficiary shall have the right (but shall
be under no obligation) to make available to any party for the purpose of
granting participation in or selling, transferring, assigning or conveying all
or any part of the Loan (including any governmental agency or authority and any
prospective bidder at any foreclosure sale of the Property) any and all
information which Beneficiary may have with respect to the Property, Lease(s),
Grantor and any Guarantor, whether provided by Grantor, any Guarantor or any
third party or obtained as a result of any environmental assessments. Grantor
and each Guarantor agree that Beneficiary shall have no liability whatsoever as
a result of delivering any such information to any third party, and Grantor and
each Guarantor, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, hereby
release and discharge Beneficiary from any and all liability, claims, damages,
or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the
delivery of any such information to any third party. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD
AND AGREED THAT THIS RELEASE COVERS ALL SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, COSTS,
EXPENSES, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF BENEFICIARY, ITS
SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
ATTORNEYS, ADMINISTRATORS, TRUSTEES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, BENEFICIARIES,
SHAREHOLDERS AND


                                       30

REPRESENTATIVES, WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE BE THE SOLE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SIMPLE,
GROSS, OR STRICT LIABILITY) OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTIES OR CONTRIBUTORY.

     44. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

     45. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Beneficiary and Trustee have the right to
appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the
Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of
Grantor, which Beneficiary and Trustee, in their discretion, decide should be
brought to protect their respective interests in the Property. Beneficiary and
Trustee shall, at their option, be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust
or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Indebtedness,
and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the
payment of the Indebtedness.

     46. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The provisions of this Deed of Trust and
the other Loan Documents are for the benefit of Grantor and Beneficiary and
shall not inure to the benefit of any third party (other than any successor or
assignee of Beneficiary). This Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents shall
not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of action against
Beneficiary or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees in favor of
any party other than Grantor including but not limited to any claims to any sums
held in the Replacement Reserve or the TI and Leasing Reserve.

     47. CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION - USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE; OFAC. Beneficiary

Beneficiary if Grantor has knowledge that any Guarantor or any member or
beneficial owner of Grantor or any Guarantor is or becomes a Prohibited Person
or (i) is indicted on or (ii) arraigned and held over on charges involving money
laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering. Grantor will not enter into

     52. SPECIAL STATE PROVISIONS. In the event of any conflict between the
terms and provisions of this section and any other provision of this Deed of
Trust, the terms and provisions of this section shall govern and control.

          (a) Instrument. This Deed of Trust shall be deemed to be and shall be
     enforceable as a deed of trust, leasehold deed of trust and security
     agreement and financing statement.

          (b) Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
     Beneficiary may request Trustee to proceed with foreclosure under the power
     of sale which is hereby conferred, such foreclosure to be accomplished in
     accordance with the following provisions:

               (i) Public Sale. Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, and
          it shall be Trustee's special duty, upon such request of Beneficiary
          to sell the Property, or any part thereof, at public auction to the
          highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of
          same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the
          applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of
          the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not
          then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of sale,
          of the successor statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas
          real property under powers of sale, conferred by deeds of trust. If
          there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales
          of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of
          trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the
          sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale
          conferred by deeds of trust.

               (ii) Right to Require Proof of Financial Ability and/or Cash Bid.
          At any time during the bidding, the Trustee may require a bidding
          party (A) to disclose its full name, state and city of residence,
          occupation, and specific business office location, and the name and
          address of the principal the bidding party is representing (if
          applicable), and (B) to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the bidding
          party's financial ability (or, if applicable, the financial ability of
          the principal of such bidding party), as a condition to the bidding
          party submitting bids at the foreclosure sale. If any such bidding
          party (the "Questioned Bidder") declines to comply with the Trustee's
          requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond
          but the Trustee, in Trustee's sole and absolute discretion, deems the
          information or the evidence of the financial ability of the Questioned
          Bidder (or, if applicable, the principal of such bidding party) to be
          inadequate, then the Trustee may continue the bidding with
          reservation; and in such event (1) the Trustee shall be authorized to
          caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be
          incurred in submitting bids, and (2) if the Questioned Bidder is not
          the highest bidder at the sale, or if having been the highest bidder
          the Questioned Bidder fails to deliver the cash purchase price payment
          promptly to the Trustee, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be
          null and void. The Trustee may, in Trustee's sole and absolute
          discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of
          the Grantor and Beneficiary, and elect to sell the Property for credit
          or for a combination of cash and credit; provided, however, that the
          Trustee shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash
          bid. In the event the Trustee requires a cash bid and cash is not
          delivered


                                       33

<PAGE>

          within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as
          specified by the Trustee, but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local
          time on the day of sale, then said contingent sale shall be null and
          void, the bidding process may be recommenced, and any subsequent bids
          or sale shall be made as if no prior bids were made or accepted.

               (iii) Sale Subject to Unmatured Indebtedness. In addition to the
          rights and powers of sale granted under the preceding provisions of
          this subsection, if default is made in the payment of any installment
          of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary's option, at once
          or at any time thereafter while any matured installment remains
          unpaid, without declaring the entire Indebtedness to be due and
          payable, orally or in writing direct Trustee to enforce this trust and
          to sell the Property subject to such unmatured Indebtedness and
          Obligations and to the rights, powers liens, security interests, and
          assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of such
          unmatured Indebtedness and Obligations, in the same manner, all as
          provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection. Sales made
          without maturing the Indebtedness may be made hereunder whenever there
          is a default in the payment of any installment of the Indebtedness,
          without exhausting the power of sale granted hereby, and without
          affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this subsection,
          the unmatured balance of the Indebtedness or the rights, powers,
          liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing
          recourse for payment of the Indebtedness.

               (iv) Partial Foreclosure. Sale of a part of the Property shall
          not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time
          until the Indebtedness is paid in full. It is intended by each of the
          foregoing provisions of this subsection that Trustee may, after any
          request or direction by Beneficiary, sell not only the Land and the
          Improvements, but also the equipment and other interests constituting
          a part of the Property or any part thereof, along with the Land and
          the Improvements or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a
          single sale, or may sell at any time or from time to time any part or
          parts of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property.
          It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit at any sale
          any of the Property.

               (v) Trustee's Deeds. After any sale under this subsection,
          Trustee shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments, and other
          conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of
          Grantor, conveying the Property or any part thereof so sold to the
          purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title by Grantor. It
          is agreed that in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by
          Trustee, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made
          as to the identity of Beneficiary, the occurrence or existence of any
          Event of Default, the notice of intention to accelerate, or
          acceleration of, the maturity of the Indebtedness and Obligations, the
          request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of
          sale, and receipt, distribution, and application of the money realized
          therefrom, the due and proper appointment of a substitute trustee, and
          without being limited by the foregoing, any other act or thing having
          been duly done by or on behalf of Beneficiary or by or on behalf of
          Trustee, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie
          evidence that such statements or recitals state true, correct, and


                                       34
<PAGE>

          complete facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and
          Grantor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee
          may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof.

          (c) Receiver. Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without regard to
     the sufficiency of the security for repayment of the Indebtedness and
     performance and discharge of the Obligations, without notice to Grantor and
     without any showing of insolvency, fraud, or mismanagement on the part of
     Grantor, and without the necessity of filing any judicial or other
     proceeding other than the proceeding for appointment of a receiver, shall
     be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Property
     or any part thereof, and of the Rents, and Grantor hereby irrevocably
     consents to the appointment of a receiver or receivers. Any receiver
     appointed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall have the
     usual powers and duties of receivers in such matters.

          (d) Inapplicability of Finance Code. In no event shall the provisions
     of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving
     credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the loan
     evidenced by the Loan Documents and/or secured hereby.

          (e) Entire Agreement. THIS DEED OF TRUST AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
     EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE
     ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND
     UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER
     HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF
     PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE
     PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.

          (f) Notice of Indemnification. GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS DEED OF
     TRUST PROVIDES FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF BENEFICIARY BY GRANTOR PURSUANT TO
     SECTION 29.

          (g) Due on Sale. The entire Indebtedness shall be due and payable in
     full in the event of any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
     encumbrance, pledge or other transfer of the Property (or any part thereof)
     unless expressly permitted by the terms of this Deed of Trust or otherwise
     consented to in writing by Beneficiary.

Executive II project located at 8360 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas (the "EXECUTIVE
II PROPERTY"), and the Executive III project 8330 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, Texas
